Clinch (Paperback, New)

A significant presence at the St. Mark's Poetry Project and the Nuyorican Poets' Care, Michael Scholnick was one of a number of poets whose work successfully bridged the gap between the New York School and the Beats. The editors have compiled sixty poems for this publication from four manuscripts -- two poems which are published here for the first time.

Scholnick brings to light items hidden yet at once revealing -- some particular offbeat detail that casts a new perspective on the moment. His poems illuminate in an extraordinary and minimalistic way life and family in New York.
